our Beliefs
In The Event Of Death
What to do when someone has passed away
The Procedure to follow after a death will depend on the circumstances surrounding the death. A Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death must be obtained from a doctor. This Certificate will enable you to register the death and obtain the Death Certificate.
In the event of someone passing away at home
Inform the family Doctor as soon as possible that death has occurred. He or she may write out the Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death upon visiting the home, or request you to attend the surgery for this purpose.
When the Death is Referred To The Coroner
Sometimes the Coroner will need to be informed when a Doctor cannot issue the Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death. In these circumstances the Coroners Office will produce a certificate once the Coroner has determined the cause of death. This will be sent by the Coroners Office to the Registrars Office in the district where the death occurred allowing you now to register the death.
In the event of passing away in Hospice or Nursing Home
The staff of the hospice or nursing home will inform you of the death of your loved one and will help you obtain the Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death. They will also be available to help you with advice until you contact us to make the funeral arrangements.
In the event of passing away in Hospital
The hospital staff will inform the next of kin or named person of the death. The deceased will be transferred to the hospital chapel. The general office will arrange for the Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death to be issued
Registering A Death - Who May Register?
Registration must take place within 5 days of the death. Most deaths are registered by a relative. The Registrar would normally only allow other people if there are no relatives available. If the person died in a house or a hospital, the death can be registered by: • A relative • Someone present at the death • An official from the hospital • The person arranging the Funeral Deaths occurring anywhere else can be registered by: • A relative • Someone present at the death • The person who found the body • The person in charge of the body • The person arranging the Funeral
